PiC-BNN: A 128-kbit 65 nm Processing-in-CAM-Based End-to-End Binary Neural Network Accelerator
arXiv:2601.19920v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Binary Neural Networks (BNNs), where weights and activations are constrained to binary values (+1, -1), are a highly efficient alternative to traditional neural networks. Unfortunately, typical BNNs, while binarizing linear layers (matrix-vector multiplication), still implement other network layers (batch normalization, softmax, output layer, and sometimes the input layer of a convolutional neural network) in full precision. This limits the area and energy benefits and requires architectural support for full precision operations. We propose […]
